Dear Fellows recently saw Polish Combat Para Badge for sale on UK ebay. See attached link:-

I was wondering if our experts could advise if the badge and wreath are genuine? I not so sure of the numbering on the wreath, would welcome comments. See attached photographs. I believe that the para eagle is a Kirkwood and Sons manufacture.

Hello Delimata,

Many thanks for yours post, the Parachute Badge Numbered : 2906 with the Combat Jump Wreath Numbered 523 was awarded to : Strz. Józef Balicki, hopefully one of the other Forum members will be able to provide further information.

Also added the photograph which might show Strz. Józef Balicki.



Best wishes

Hi Guys,

That paratrooper badge is a fake. The photo was added by the dealer I am sure to make it seem more authentic. This badge sold on ebay a few years back along with some medals and has been already discussed on this forum.

Dear fellows,

Thanks for the heads up. I messaged the ebay seller and asked him if its genuine and he messaged me back that it was. Good job I didn't take his word it and checked. It could have been an expensive mistake.

Thanks

Hello Ze-Pole,

Many thanks for your post, I hope you do not mind me taking the liberty of posting the photographs of the walking stick, because once the auction has ended the link will not work :









double click the photographs to open in a new window.

Andrejku98,
Thank you for the pictures indeed !
Many items engraved probably made by the same guy have been proposed.
Ridiculous !

Here is the link of a Polish badge with maker never seen before. I don't know the Polish paratroopers badges.

I have recently purchased a pair of exiled polish army Poland titles. They look good to me, however before the payment I would like to confirm that I am doing the right thing. Therefore I would like to ask you as experts about your opinion about the patches. Your help will be highly appreciated.
